What I have to say about me

If you've searched my name and ended up here, I am the guy who pissed off all those (or thosefew) other people enough for them to go to all that trouble to smear me online, as you may have already read. What made them angry was a blog I write that is critical of spiritual gurus who employ the notion that they possess supernatural powers as a result of their nondual enlightenment. I also have a history of being a jerk to those I've disagreed with online, although I'm happy to report that's mostly in the past.

The things these folks are using against me are based on my participation in the San Francisco rave community as an organizer and general bigmouth in the early 1990s. This was a time of intense psychedelic exploration for myself and my cohort in the scene. Fortunately, enough neural material was left to enable me to have a productive life as a graphic designer, social observer, and as a hobby of sorts, commentator on nonduality spirituality.

If you take the time to examine the source material these folks have butchered and embellished to the level of outright libel, you'll see that even as a bit of a social adventurer, I've always meant well for everybody I'm on this planet with, even those I've criticized, along with those who don't like me because I've been critical.
